We love to hear you enjoyed your stay at our lovely Potter's Bungalow! We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future!
We needed a place close to campus that had three rooms and/or two beds in the second room, and this checked all the boxes. Was nice and clean, and lower priced than similar properties in the area. Check-in was very easy, and the host provided clear instructions for everything. Will definitely look to rebook the next time we are in the area.

Great little house for my family to explore the Arcata area, A dishwasher would be nice but I fully realize that the kitchen would require lots of unneeded work to get one shoehorned in.

Reviewer Comments:
Honestly this was the perfect place! Very clean and welcoming and all the beds were super comfortable. The wi fi didn’t really work even after resetting it but that was the only issue. There was also construction right next to the rental (so close they removed the rental’s fence while we stayed) and that was pretty noisy and annoying but not the fault of the rental company.

Thank you for the feedback and review! We are under the impression the construction will be completed soon. We hope to host you again in the future!
The space was clean and charmingly decorated. The pottery was lovely and all the little touches that were available were so appreciated. We didn't have a did but there was even a little basket with treats for your puppy and stuff to help you clean up after your dog. The kitchen had everything we needed. The needs were comfortable. It was great!

My family has stayed at this property multiple times and we really appreciate the location and the value for the money. It's a beautiful little place that is well kept and has all of the basics. I plan to keep coming back as often as we're in Arcata.

Thank you for your feedback we will make sure to look into your recommendations! We are glad overall you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
Very cozy just the perfect size for my family and dogs. Clean and had all the amenities we needed. Just wish the backyard was enclosed to let the dogs roam without a leash. Driveway is a bit difficult to back out of due to fence causing blind spot. Best to park on the street. We will most likely stay again in the future for sure!

Cute cottage with nice comfy spaces. Would have been excellent if the yard was fully enclosed, but the pup biscuits and towels to wipe feet were great. Also the shower was nice hot water and good pressure. Well appointed kitchen, we made a nice spaghetti dinner. Good location to check out the area.

The Potter's Bungalow was delightful! It had everything our party of 5 needed. It is attractive, clean, comfortable, quiet, and located in a really cute area. We walked to the Farmer's Market. If I return to the area, this is where I want to stay.
